Catterall vs. Eubank lives in Dazn on July 5 in Manchester

Jack Catterall and Harlem Eubank finally blocked their eyes and mouth at the last “Cards on the Tauler” episode of Matchroom: No promoter, without ref, only a table between them and two egos that almost do not fit into the room. The result? A quiet, uncomfortable and slightly spicy exchange that marked the tone for the heavy struggle of all British Saturday Live in Dazn of the Ao Arena de Manchester.

Catteral is producing a loss of the knife at Arnold Barboza Jr., while Eubank remains unbeaten and full of self-generation, after having stopped Tyron McKenna to tarnish the IBF intercontinental trinket. Now, both are 31 years old, both world titles, and both try to convince everyone that the other is “good”, but it is not a “world class”. Welcome to the favorite pre-luite tradition of British boxing: Ego Chess.

Catteral admitted this “means everything” after leaving a narrow decision in February. It is passing up to 147 with more questions than answers, but insists that it is achieving the right time. “I live clean, I take care of myself,” he told Eubank that he is not here to pay, he is here to make a last race in a world title. He called Ebank “above the average”, praised his victories, and then claimed a credit for his model. Subtle.

When asked who has the most ego, Jack stated that it is only “work, work, work” for him, you do not need to call it online. Which sounds humble … if it ignores the fact that it caused the cleaning. However, it is not mistaken in the bets. A victory on Saturday returns to the conversation, probably a loss buried in a domestic goalkeeper.

Eubank says it is his time even if the curriculum says “not yet”

Harlem Eubank does not pretend to have been there and he has done so. He just thinks he is ready. “You are at your beginning,” Jack said, “We believe we’re getting the best version.” And that is why he wants the fight now: he wants to overcome the best kale before someone else does it. Trust? Through the roof. Damage? You decide.

He also classified Jack as “it should have been indisputable” and said he chose him because “you are the best.” Respect, but the brightness could be seen in his eyes, he was not praise, but he was snatched. Harlem believes that his shot in World Honors begins with this victory. “I plan to take it with both hands,” he said, leaving the frustration of the years to be outside.

Oh, and the ego’s question? Eubank did not dodge it. “You need an ego to be in this sport,” he said. “You can’t be in boxing without her.” Fair point. No one becomes the world champion whispering himself.
